Festive Season Fun Comes to The Plaza 2022

Festive Season Fun Comes to The Plaza

Start your festive season off right with a magical holiday visit to The Plaza. The grand hotel is ready to welcome visitors for holiday teas, meals, and overnight visits. It is transformed this winter with beautiful snow-flocked trees, illuminated with bright lights and festive décor throughout.

Families will adore the festive holiday decorations and live musical stylings and dance performances. Sample the new Holiday Afternoon Tea menu and be sure to grab a photo with Santa!

Don’t miss seeing Santa who will be spreading holiday cheer and bringing smiles in the lobby, dining outlets, and around the hotel. Plan to join him for a special story time (on select Fridays and Saturdays), tell him how nice everyone has been, and of course, make sure to snap the obligatory photo-op.

Everyone will love, love, love dining at The Palm Court. Kids will love Eloise Tea at the Palm Court and grown-ups will love the Holiday Afternoon Tea.

It is truly decadent and the perfect holiday gift to yourself and your family. Eloise Tea at The Palm Court is a holiday must-do and little ones will feel like royalty in the beautiful tea room, sipping children’s tea (think watermelon berry tea) from an Eloise china teacup and savoring sandwiches, scones and preserves, and pastries.

Kids will enjoy Eloise’s selection of sandwiches (think deluxe PB&J) and sweets (don’t miss the cookies and cream Oreo macaron). Fans of the books will especially enjoy this special holiday-themed Afternoon Tea menu at The Palm Court, complete with favorite pink and holiday treats, of course. It is sure to become a cherished holiday tradition.

For those looking for the ultimate Plaza adventure, book the Home Alone 2: Escape to New York package.

After a long day of adventure around NYC and The Plaza, your little loved one can retreat to the Home Alone Suite. The festive fan favorite is back and this year, “guests of the new Celebrity Ding Dang Dong stay[ing] at the world-renowned Plaza Hotel” can get Lost in New York during the holiday season and live out all their Kevin dreams.

We also love that this year, The Plaza has partnered with Toys for Tots to bring the joy of the holidays to America’s less fortunate children. If you’d like, feel free to bring a new unwrapped toy for the collection.

The Language Workshop For Children

After offering both group and private lessons for many years and analyzing the results over&nbsp;time, The&nbsp;Language Workshop for&nbsp;Children, founded&nbsp;in1973, has decided&nbsp;to emphasize private remote lessons at shorter intervals.&nbsp;Our skilled educators&nbsp;will&nbsp;focus their attention exclusively on the&nbsp;unique needs, learning style, and interests of your child.&nbsp;This allows a&nbsp;bond&nbsp;to develop&nbsp;between teacher and student, which&nbsp;has been&nbsp;shown to&nbsp;drastically improve retention.&nbsp; OUR METHOD&nbsp; Developed by the pioneers of language education for children, our programs bring decades of&nbsp;experience to your living room with individualized, active language classes. Each lesson is based on proven methods and materials perfected to capture your&nbsp;child&rsquo;s attention during the ages when he/she absorbs information the fastest. &nbsp;&nbsp; While other online language classes rely on videos for passive learning, we deliver interactive, and engaging lessons with native-fluent teachers. In addition, all our teachers are certified in the Thibaut&nbsp;Technique which has been featured&nbsp;in the New York&nbsp;Times, the&nbsp;Wall Street Journal, and many other well-respected&nbsp;publications.&nbsp;&nbsp; Our short one-on-one lessons give kids the chance to focus, hear pronunciation clearly, and practice speaking in their target language.  THE PROCESS&nbsp; First, students have a short meeting with our Director&nbsp;Francois&nbsp;Thibaut, in&nbsp;English, with&nbsp;their parent(s)&nbsp;present.&nbsp;Mr. Thibaut&nbsp;will determine&nbsp;the best course of study, including&nbsp;class length and&nbsp;frequency, the&nbsp;right&nbsp;teacher, lesson&nbsp;format and materials (or action games for younger students.) Then the learning&nbsp;begins!&nbsp;Mr. Thibaut will continually check in on your child&rsquo;s learning to assure they are getting the most&nbsp;of&nbsp;their&nbsp;classes.&nbsp; OTHER OFFERINGS&nbsp; We can also help your child prepare for: the French subject tests for SAT, AP &amp; CLEP, the European DELF/DALF, the Canadian TEF and other standardized testing, college entry exams, studying or traveling abroad,&nbsp;cultural changes when moving abroad,&nbsp;and much more!&nbsp; &nbsp;
